WHOLESALE CUTTING-OFF.
Five Persons Served from the
Church Last Night.

Last night was memorable one for
the attendants OF the Mormon meeting
in the Fourteenth ward, the occasion be-
ing marked by the accommodation of
five members OF the Church.
Rumors were going the rounds on the
street this morning to the effect that
there was something of more than passing
interest connected with the occurrence,
but investigation shows that this
was only the talk OF some OF
the more Jealous Saints who were overly
anxious to consider the victims in a de-
predatory light. The statement OF
Bishop Taylor, who was asked about the
rumors by DEMOCRAT reporter, knocks
all dizzy, and shows the thing in its true
light. The Bishop said that they were
communicated for apostacy, that is,
the cutting off was done at their own re-
quest. He did not care to give the
names OF the parties, as he thought it
would be like trying to spite them by
having them published.
1t is learned from another source, how
ever, that two OF the parties are young
ladies, sisters, who are quite well-known
in certain circles OF society here, and
whose mother is alleged to have married
one of the church leaders some time ago
The young ladies have evidently seen too
much OF the "divine religion" and are
doubtless glad to get out OF it.
Who the other three are cannot be
learned, but it is an admitted fact that
they were fired" at their own request.

srEENs AoooMPLIoEs.
Further particulars of the stone
Murder-Thc Body Here.

Since the publication OF all the details
OF the Stone murder, obtainable up to
Saturday, there have been many devel-
opments which are of public interest.
The most important OF these is the fact
that there are three other men impli-
Gated in the affair, and the hint that the
trivial quarrel was not the only cause OF
the row. Just what the real provocation
was cannot be learned at present, but
there are several theories advanced, and
the correct one will soon be made known.
THE CAPTURE OF THE MURDERER
Is also among the prominent develop
ments. 1t appears that as soon as the
shot was fired, Steene fled from the town
on foot, but becoming discouraged, he
decided to return. At about o'clock on
Saturday, Sheriff Turner and a posse
started out in search of him, and had
not gone far when they ran across
him on the road. He made no at
tempt at resistance, but went along
willingly with the officers and made no
denial of his guilt, although he did give
different version of the story than the
one published. A preliminary eXamina-
ton was held at once and resulted in the
development OF the fact that Steene is
not the only guilty one.
Stones body was brought up on last
evenings train by Mr.. w. f. Williams
and are now at Sleeves undertaking es-
Enlistment.
THE NAMES OF THE ACCoMPLICES.
The following special, received by the
DEMOCRAT this morning, divulges the
names OF the acComplices:
PRICE, Utah. Jan. 24.-[Special to the
DEMOCRAT. No tidings from Stones rela-
tives have yet been received. The muir
derer and his accomplices were taken to
Provo yesterday on the same train with
their victim. The three accomplices Sam
Wolley, James Haley and William Nc
Closkey waived examination and were taken
to Provo to await the action of the Grand
Jury. Everything pertaining to the case
has been told as far as known. The rail
way company carried stones body to Salt
Lake free, and passed w. +. Williams to
oompanying the body. The feeling here is
more bitter against the three accomplces
than against the murderer.
Mr.. Joseph Lippman, who has taken
the lead in looking to the disposal OF the
remains, has telegraphed to the sister OF
the deceased, who is attending school in
Buffalo, New York, but as yet has re-
ceived no reply. The address OF the
father cannot be learned, and in case the
relatives are not heard OF by tonight,
it has been decided to bury the remains
here.
THE FUNERAL
Will in this case be held at the residence
of Mrs. Howard, No. pa +. Fifth South
street, corner Third East, on Wednesday
at l a. IN. The expenses will be betrayed
by Mr. stones friends here. 1t is desired
that the Olympic Club, of which the de
ceased was a member, turn out in force
to do honor to the gentleman's memory
and all friends are invited to attend the
| funeral

RAILWAY RUMBLES.
Personal and General Notes of Local
Interest.

1t is rumored that the Union Pacific
expects soon TO obtain control OF the
Oregon x California Railroad, which ex-
tends from Portland to the southern
boundary OF Oregon.
A report was received at Shoshone on
Monday to the effect that the Indians at
Pocatello were donning their war paint
to demonstrate against further i'm.
provements by the railroad company.
PoCatellO is on the Indian reservation,
and the company is building extensively
there, against the wishes OF the chiefs.
A later report says the Govern
ment has ordered all work on the reserve
suspended, and all improvements re-
moved across the line. Most of the
carpenters-about l75-have been laid
off, and all developments are at stand
still superintendent Blickensdorfer was
called to headquarters at Omaha by tele-
gram, Wednesday, to consult with the
management Of the road. The present
site is very essential to the railroad in
terests and if it cannot be leased from
the Indians, the outcome is hard to
determine.-Nem North West

ANOTHER BASTARD.
And Another Serious Lesson 10
Young Girls.

The facts OF dastardly affair which
occurred last Thursday night have just
come to light, and as there is good
moral to the story, it is not too late to
publish it.
At about 9 O'Clock on the evening
mentioned, the household OF Mr.. Law
renee Young, of the Seventh ward,
was aroused by screams of "mur-
der" "help," etc. Mr. Young
rushed to the front door, and
fired his pistol into the air a couple OF
times in the direction whence the screams
came. The noise ceased, and going out
into the street the gentleman saw a man
run off down the street. At about the
same time Il young girl got up from the
ground and came toward her rescuer to
tell OF how the bastard had assaulted
her, etc, etc, 1t was the same old story
torn and muddy clothes and badly
frightened girl. She could not recognize
the man on account Of the darkness.
The story carries moral, and makes
sure that at least one more girl will never
be seen out alone after dark.

THE MARBLE INDUSTRY.
Utah Marbles and the RuinOus F0r-
cign Competition.

From long and interesting article in
the New York Heraid, in connection
with the marble industry in New York
City especially, the DEMOCRAT notes
some facts Of interest to business men
and marble workers and owners in Utah.
One Of the largest manufacturers in the
marble trade OF that city said;
"As to our marbles, let me say they
are not inferior to the product Of any for
eign quarry, we have good statuary
marble from Rutland, Vermont, and
here" said Mr.. Bailie, pointing to some
magnificent slabs, care specimens from
Tennessee with variegated traceries black
marble from Vermont, green from Mary
land, purple, brown and chocolate from
Tennessee rose red from Virginia, and
all colors and all tints from far off Des-
eret, in Utah This is an industry that
requires and deserves protection. But
instead OF protecting it, Congress made a
reduction of 20 per cent, though vigorous
protests were sent to Washington against
it by the trade. Had it not been for this

LONG AND SHORT HAULs.
An important section OF the Inter
state Commerce Bill.

Railway circles are very much agitated
at present over the Interstate Com
merce bill now awaiting the action of
President Cleveland. The complete bill
has not yet been received, but the follow
ing section will be OF interest:
SECTION t. That it shall be unlawful
for any common carrier subject to the
provisions of this act to charge or receive
any greater compensation in the aggre-
gate for the transportation OF passen-
gers or OF any kind of property, under
substantially similar circumstances and
conditions, for a shorter than for Il
longer distance over the same line, in
the same direction, the shorter being in
cluded within the longer distance; but
this shall not be construed as authorizing
any common carrier within the terms OF
this act to charge and receive as great
compensation for shorter as for a longer
distance.

action of Congress there would have
been great development and large in
crease in our industry. Now a great
number of mills have stopped.
"Where does the marble worked up in
New York come from ?"
Fourteen thousand tons Of white mar
BILE came from Italy last year-more by
four thousand tons than the native mar
BILE used. In addition there were twenty
five hundred tons OF colored marble, and
this Independent Of manufactured slabs,
with which we contend ut great disad-
vantage on account OF reduced duty. For
the manufactured article we paid last
year 100000. OF the ten thousand tons
of domestic marble one-half come from
Vermont and the other hall from Ten
nessee. Nanderblts tomb cost $3.50, 0OO
and Jay Gould is preparing monument
for his own use when he has shutlled off
this mortal coil" at cost OF $4,000.
Trade prospects? Good. No cause for
complaint. We are running full handed
and have been all the year Trade would
be much better but for the competition
which leads contractors to import slabs
and other specialties OF our work from
Italy. The cost of production in Italy is
lessened by the use OF water power, in
stead of steam, to run their machinery.
They put their slabs right here at %
cents superficial foot, paying freight
and duty charges, when we can't afford
to sell for less than 26 cents.
Blue stone, quarried on and near the
Hudson river, is iavorite for sidewalks.
Mr.. Vanderbilt secured the largest flag
in New York at a cost at the quarry of
10000. 1t covers the entire width OF
the sidewalk and forms the corner flag
on Fifty-First street and Fifth Avenue.
Afterward Mr.. Stuart secured the boss

The salt deposit OF Petit Anse, in South

salt, covering $50 acres to an unknown
depth, having been penetrated no feet.
1t is from one TO six feet below sea-level,
and the earth over it is from 10 to 1873

earth, have been found remains OF pre-,

FOILED AT LAST.
The Mormon Trouble at nm End
and the GentiIcs Defeated.

and the GeniiIcs Defeated.
While the Gentle population OF Utah
has been so busy with rejoicing and
merry-making over the progress of the
Tucker bill, tie silent forces OF the Nor
man Church have been at work and they
now burst forth upon us with terribly
crushing force. Before another moon the
Gentle populace will be routed, tn e
Loyal League dsbanded and its represent
atives at Washington will be forced to
flee for their lives The blow will be the
more fearful from the fact that it has not
been eXpected-its crushing power will
be the harder to bear because it comes
upon us in the moment OF our great eX-
altation. 1t is fearful to contemplate,
yet to know is to think, and to think is
maddening. Could the Nation but be
forewarned, the danger to the institutions
of liberty might be lessened, but the
whole thing is a secret and must die in
the bosoms Of the few who know it. The
plan is perfect, and will not be sprung
until it is proven that it can be carried
out without the danger of failure.
But, the thought is too terrible, the
DEMOCRAT cannot stand to have the
secret die and decompose in its breast
it must, and for the sake OF its country and
the salvation OF humanity in general
it will, divulge the fact. BE calm, gentle
reader, while you hear the worst. 1t may
not come your way but if it does, don't
be ashamed to run. Here it is:
The Female Relief Societies of the Nor
mon Church are going to send a delega-
ton OF their members to Washington to
work against the wicked Utah Gentles.
